1: Why is training important?
The importance of continual education in all aspects of midwifery has long been recognised by the Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists and the Royal College of Midwives, as well as all the leading colleges overseas; however, routine training has been difficult to implement on an individual basis. |
2: What is the K2 Perinatal Training Programme?Encompassing all the established and award winning content of the K2 Fetal Monitoring Training System, the Perinatal Training Programme is an interactive computer based training system covering a comprehensive spectrum of learning that can be accessed over the internet, anywhere, anytime, from within your own hospital or from home. It is a cost effective option compared to the high cost and inconvenience associated with traditional 'lecture based' training courses. |
3: Fetal Monitoring – What will I learn?Chapter 1: The physiology underlying intrapartum fetal monitoring and perinatal asphyxia.
Topics include: basic physiology, fetal responses to hypoxia, normal acid-based balance, disturbed acid-base balance, rationale and techniques for cord blood gas analysis.

4a: Fetal Monitoring – Simulation
Achieved through presentation of real cases. The first time that you see an abnormal case should not be as it unfolds in front of you on the labour ward. We have built up a comprehensive database of over a thousand cases with normal CTG patterns with normal and very abnormal outcomes. These cases are presented to you in their entirety and you decide, blind to outcome, how they should be managed. When the case review is over you can compare your management with 3 independent experts and the actual clinical outcome. Ten cases are provided initially and every 6 months an additional 5 cases are sent so that over a period of time you are able to compile a significant database of interesting cases. |
4b: Fetal Monitoring – Simulation – NEW K2 Simulator 2.0
The K2MS Simulator 2.0 is now fully upgraded to embrace NICE guidelines and features exciting new functionality and management options. Classification of individual CTG features can be selected and an overall classification, in accordance with the NICE guidelines, is then automatically determined. INFANT® technology is also embedded within the simulator providing its own interpretation for comparison which, together with expert analysis from independent clinicians and specialists, provides segment by segment feedback. Individuals can score and rate their own interpretations against the experts, and challenge them directly by being able to send comments and queries straight from Simulator 2.0. Queries are answered personally allowing each user to benefit from one to one support. Finally, an assessment mode allows the user to review cases with no feedback from either the experts, or INFANT®, thereby testing their own skill. Results can then be compared with those of the experts to assess how they got on. All scores and comparisons are stored for future reference. |
4c: Fetal Monitoring - Clinical Trial of the Training System
The training system has been proven to impart knowledge in a randomised controlled trial. Download a copy of the Clinical Trial Research Paper. This study has been published in the British Journal of Obstetrics and Gynaecology, entitled 'The development and evaluation of computer-assisted teaching program for intrapartum monitoring'. September 2000, Vol 107: pp1138-1144. |
5: NEW! Maternity Crisis Management
Exciting new content has now been introduced to the Perinatal Training Programme covering wide-ranging aspects of maternity crisis management. This stimulating new content covers all requirements for CNST standards 1-3, as set out in the CNST Clinical Risk Management Standards 2011/12, and aims to further challenge the user and to promote thought and learning. With chapters covering Shoulder Dystocia, Breech, Maternal Haemorrhage, Maternal Resuscitation and Pre-Eclampsia, to name but a few, this new addition to the Perinatal Training Programme is a vital new extension to the existing and award winning fetal monitoring content. |
6:Maternity Crisis Management – What will I learn?
Shoulder Dystocia - this chapter covers all aspects of management and subsequent care. Topics include: definition and causes, maternal and neonatal complications, as well as management, manoeuvers, care and on-going risk management. Breech – providing a theoretical understanding of breech management this chapter includes: An introduction to breech and Intrapartum breech management Pre-eclampsia – this chapter will guide you through an understanding of pre-eclampsia and subsequent management. Topics in this section cover: An introduction to pre-eclampsia, diagnosing and managing pre-eclampsia and preventing and managing pre-eclampsia. Shoulder Dystocia – NOW AVAILABLE! |
7: Certification
All users will be able to print off a certificate confirming their completion of each chapter as they progress through the programme. Each maternity unit will also receive a breakdown of their staff's progress every six months via email. This conforms to the CNST standard 12.1.6. |
8: How long does it take?
The training is equivalent to 2 full days training at a lecture based course. However, unlike lecture courses, with the K2 Perinatal Training System you are free to learn at your own pace, in privacy, at a time that suits you. You can do as much or as little as you wish at each session and you do it in your hospital, or home, removing the need for travel. |
9: Who will benefit?
Everyone. There are currently over 100,000 registered clinicians worldwide using the package from the most junior to the most experienced. It has been rigorously tested in clinical trials and has been shown to improve core knowledge for all grades of doctors and midwives. |
10: Perinatal Training Programme in 90% of UK Hospitals
The K2MS Perinatal Training Programme has become the de facto standard for teaching. Over 90% of UK hospitals are established users. The Training Programme has also been well received in other countries around the world including Ireland, Australia, New Zealand and America. |
11: Buy the Training On-Line
The Perinatal Training Programme can be purchased on an individual basis immediately online or it can be purchased on behalf of an entire hospital's perinatal staff. The cost of a site license is proportional to the number of deliveries in your hospital. More information can be found on our Buy Training page.
